I've been really pre occupied here lately. I haven't had much time to get on the computer really. My marriage really isn't going as well as I hoped, so I'm kinda sad coming on here. I'm happy for everybody...but sad for myself.

Fans are gone...

Well...my wedding was May 8, 2010 and I guess it's time I part with my leftovers.  These prices do not include the shipping....shoot me an email with your zip code and I'll send you a price for shipping.    24 raffia fans - purchased from Oriental Trading Will sell as needed for $.85 each or all together for $15.00.....just send me an email.    100 yards of turquoise tulle - Never Used  $5.00    Pink Garter - Never Used  $10.00   Shell Frame - Never Used  $10.00    That's it for now.....That's all I have come across. Send me an email on here and let me know if you're interested.

Yes I did! Every single one.

Everybody that I have had any interaction with from this forum has been incredible. As far as the vendor rules, I wasn't aware that I was breaking any. If I am, could you please tell me which one I am breaking and I do apologize.

This is my first cake EVER - My Second Cake My Third Cake My Fourth Cake My Fifth Cake Sorry about the spelling in my earlier posts....I'm at work and trying to do this stuff between calls.

Thanks....if you want to see pictures of what you'll learn in the classes I can email you my pictures or post them on here.

Also, did you take any baking courses? I took Wilton Cake Decorating classes and just found it VERY relaxing. I actually start teaching the classes in May after my wedding. I'm doing my wedding cake and my future sister-in-laws wedding cake. I'm super excited about it all. As far as pricing goes....I just googled a whole bunch of bakeries in my area and got the going rate for that size and style and knocked about $10 off the price....to be under the going rate. Since I am new at this, I want to get clients in the "door" and then I can increase my prices according to my experience.

Some of them seem a bit long. That's just my $0.02 though! $0.02 or not....I asked for opions. There were others....but they got nixed for some reason. The others were: The Sweetest Bite, The frosted Crumb, and Roally Iced.

I recently started taking orders for cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and other sweets. I have a few names I have in mind but can't seem to get it down to just one. Please help me make this decision. Thanks in advance!

Looks STUNNING!

I guess, I'm going to be the outsider on this issue. Lap dances are just that....lap dances. Unless he has done something in the past that leads you to believe that he will take the lap dance further then a lap dance, I would let it go. If it really upsets you, let him know how you feel. If he loves you, which I'm sure he does, then it shouldn't be an issue for him to say "okay, no lap dances in Mexico." If anything go to his best man and make him promise that there will be no lap dances and let him know how much it upsets you. I hope that everything works out for you. Samie

AHHH...MODS.....resize picture please!

Okay....so, I've been absent from the forum for quite some time now....we've been super busy these last few months. But I wanted to touch base and let you guys know what's been going on. Were to start....I guess lets start with us moving BACK in with my parents....WOW....not fun. We decided it was time to start looking for a house about three months prior to our lease running up at our current apartment. We turned in our notice and started to look...we put offers on 6 houses at different times and got outbid or our offer wasn't accepted at all! I was an emotional wreck because I thought it would never happen. Every house we put a bid on I thought, "THIS IS THE ONE!" But turns out God didn't think so. We found house #7 at the beginning of September and our lease was up towards the end of September. We put an offer on the house and waited....and waited....and waited.....packed up our apartment and put it into storage and moved in with my mom, step-dad, and step-brother, 7 people in a 3 bedroom house....NOT FUN! Well, we finally heard back from the seller, they accepted our offer! YAY, right? WRONG. we went back and forth for two weeks about what they would and wouldn't pay for at closing. Well...we finally agreed on everything and were set to close on October 30th. The 26th of October the seller stated they didn't get everything in time and so closing was pushed back to November 5th. Pretty fast closing if you ask me. We are officially homeowners and start renovations TOMORROW! Since I know we ALL love pictures....here is a picture of our new home. Sorry the bad quality...the siding is acutally perfect...kinda looks warped in the picture...LOL.

It's okay. I emailed Ocean Plaza about having a private beach wedding. Told them I didn't want any unexpected speedos in my wedding pictures. They have yet to answer my email...so we may not have it there.
